Rds1983 Posted September 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2023 Interesting timing with this thread for me. I've just done a sideways move at the Bank from auditing supplier's GDPR controls and compliance (among many other things) to being a full time data privacy manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted October 4, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2023 Following the ICO virtual conference yesterday they've published some guidance I'm sure some of you might find interesting: https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/media-centre/news-and-blogs/2023/10/ico-publishes-guidance-to-ensure-lawful-monitoring-in-the-workplace " If an organisation is looking to monitor workers, it must take steps including: Making workers aware of the nature, extent and reasons for monitoring. Having a clearly defined purpose and using the least intrusive means to achieve it. Having a lawful basis for processing workers data – such as consent or legal obligation. Telling workers about any monitoring in a way that is easy to understand. Only keeping the information which is relevant to its purpose. Carrying out a Data Protection Impact Assessment for any monitoring that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights of workers. Making the personal information collected through monitoring available to workers if they make a Subject Access Request (SAR)." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all seems exactly as you’d think it was. Thanks for sharing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing though. I think it's more reiterating their stance and clarifying it again. There's a definite increase in firms wanting to do stuff like this so their keen to make sure firms don't cross the line as a lot of non DP people won't even consider the risks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limpid kindly told me in a DM as I'd asked him a question on it. I'm ashamed to say I hadn't read it before. Didn't know about Data Privacy when I joined the site and hadn't really considered it for here since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted November 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2023 https://iapp.org/news/a/uk-gdpr-reforms-move-forward-in-uk-parliament/ "On 29 Nov., the proposed U.K. Data Protection and Digital Information Bill moved a step closer to passage. The U.K. House of Commons voted to avoid recommitting the bill following the recent introduction of U.K. government-backed amendments, instead moving the proposal to the report stage of consideration. If the recommittal vote succeeded, the bill and its proposed changes would've moved back to the committee debate. The bill, originally published 8 March — the first day of IAPP's Data Protection Intensive in London — seeks to make various reforms to the U.K. General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act 2018." Some good, some bad, but feel it'll just be rewritten by Labour when they get in anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
